01/ Overview
The route
With ideal winter and cross-country skiing conditions, the Menzingen-Loipe trail, also known as the Schurtannenloipe, has become a real insider tip for cross-country skiers. The beautifully designed cross-country trail leads through stunning countryside with views of Menzingen and its monastery.
The five-kilometre circular trail begins in Stockacher, outside Menzingen. The starting point is not served directly by public transport; the nearest stop, Menzingen, Weid, is just under 900 m away. The terrain remains almost flat for the first few metres. From the start, the trail crosses open meadows, gaining little elevation over gentle rises and dips.
After a little over two kilometres, it reaches its highest point at around 840 m. The circuit then continues through open terrain. The Church of the Annunciation lies just over 100 m from the trail. With no lengthy ascents or descents, the route loops back towards Stockacher. After a little over an hour of cross-country skiing and around 40 metres of ascent in total, the trail ends exactly where it began in Menzingen, Stockacher.
